VEGETABLE HEAVEN

Growing and eating lovely food. Trying something different. Saving seeds, breeding my own varieties. Gardening isn't dull!

Seed gathering



Red Epicure. Not a hard variety to get hold of, but why buy seeds when you can garden sustainably? They were grown away from other broad beans so I hope will come true for me next year.



These are my soldier beans. Aren't they gorgeous? I could play with them! I shall try to remember to get a photo of the aberrant bean with the climbing habit, the deep red pods and the purple beans. Definitely a candidate for the experimental bed next year!


This morning's haul - a Hungarian Hot Wax pepper (the red one) and a Italian Long Sweet pepper (seeds scraped out of a supermarket one) is the green one. It's just starting to go red but I couldn't wait!
